例二:——I'm taking my driving test tomorrow.
——____!
A. Cheers
B. Good luck
C. Come on
D. Congratulations
答案B,用来表示在别人做事情之前表达祝愿。A 选项是“干杯”,与情景不适宜;C项的意思是“过来”、“加油”的意思;D项表示“祝贺”。因为是明天参加考试,还不知结果,因此表达“祝贺”不合适。
例三:——Let me help you carry your travel case to the station, Granny.
——Oh, no, my boy. It is ____________ heavy. _______.
A. so; What a good boy
B. not so; Thanks a lot
C. rather; How kind of you
D. not too; Thank you anyway.
答案D。后者委婉地拒绝了帮助,在回答时表达出“还是要感谢你”。A 、C都与前面的Oh, no的语境不符。
例四:——I didn't know this was one-way street, officer.
——_______.
A. That's all right
B. I don't believe you
C. How dare you say that
D. Sorry, but that's no excuse.
答案D。从句中的I didn't know 说明我先前不知道,从后文this was a one-way street看出来司机是走了单行路,违章了。下面警察的回答应当是D,“那不能是借口。”
例五:——Dad! Tom's broken a glass!
——________. Accidents will happen.
A.No way
B.Doesn't matter
C.No trouble at all
D.Don't mention it
答案B,根据答语后句“意外总是避免不了”,说明爸爸并不介意,所以选择“没关系”;A是“不可能”;C是“一点都不麻烦”;D是回答感谢。
三、交际应答要掌握好语言结构知识和词汇知识
选择交际用语的答话,在很多时候还要理解好英语词的搭配、句式结构,甚至是词的语境下的词义。
例一:——Isn’t his job satisfactory?
—— We can’t praise it too highly.
A.Yes,it is
B.I think just so—so
C.No, it isn’t
D.Not so nice,you know
答案A,要特别注意答语后半句的双否结构“can’t…too…”是“怎么也不为过”的意思。因此,他的工作我们怎么表扬也不为过,那么他的工作应当令人满意,故应作肯定回答。再如:You can’t be too careful when you cross the road.“过马路要格外小心。”
例二:——You haven't been to Beijing, have you?
——_____. How I wish to go there.
A. Yes, I have
B. Yes, I haven't
C. No, I have
D. No, I haven't
答案D。由答语后句“How I wish to go there!”可知他是很盼望去那,因此可以知道他还没有去过,因此要回答D。B,C项有语法错误;A事实不符。
例三:——It's a long time since I saw my sister.
——_______________ her this weekend?
A. Why not visit
B. why not to visit
C. Why not visiting
D. Why don't visit
答案A,考查对省略句掌握的熟练程度。相当于说“Why don't you do…”。其他选项均有结构上的错误。
例四:——Mum, I've cut my finger. It's bleeding !
——______.
A. Let me see
B. Don't worry
C. Be careful
D. Let me have a look
答案D。本题容易误选为A,要特别注意Let me see是“让我想一想”,不符逻辑;B用来告诉别人不要害怕、担心,孩子手破了,不能用Don't worry去安慰,要快行动;C选项,要用在事情未发生之前,给予提醒,不符合语境。.
例五:——Now let’s move on to another topic. Do you follow me?
——_______, Professor.
A. No, I am not
B. Yes, I will
C. No, I haven’t
D. Yes, perfectly
